1: Today, June 22, 1941, Hitler has betrayed us after signing a non- | aggression pact with us. Him and his allies have suprize attacked Russia and caught us completley off guard. Alot of blood was shed. This means that were forced to get into the war

2: My dearest Wife, Today is a rough day, since Germany has betrayed our non-aggression paxt we are all very upset. Im glad that we are both okay. Ill probably be drafted to war since I am the right age. A good amount of our friends will probably be drafter too. But i promise ill be okay. Love, Daniel

3: Thats the note that he wrote me right before he found out he was drafted. And thats the flower he gave me right before he left

8: My husband is doing good, as far as i can tell through his letters. He is sending me pictures as well.
